I do believe that the plans call for wrapping the wood false spar on the
wing and aileron sides, from top glass to bottom glass. That is all the
re-enforcement that you need. You need to cut the glass on the bias and use
a bi-directional cloth, to get a nice bend and it helps to do it in two

It is a common mis-conception that you cannot use ailerons when either
practicing stalls or when actually experiencing stalls. Young CFI's typically

Thanks for the additional info.
I fly giders and it is possible to initiate a spin
during a stall by quickly deflecting the ailerons and
when flying any new plane considerable caution should
be excersized until the flight envelop has been
properly explored in a structured systematic way.

I would like a general consensus here. In the plans, it shows glassing in the

of the aileron spar to the bottom side of aileron. This is also called for on
the wing side. Now, I have floxed in my aileron spars both i

It would be possible indeed to reduce the size of your ailerons, but the big

I think you have to stick with the plane versions or you will suffer a
reduced roll rate. If you did want to shift the aft spar, you could

Larry,
I just finished this work a couple weeks ago. The short of it is the
glass is transparent and I could see the hole locations to open them up.
Also I had match drilled the hing to the spar and could have lined it up
again and dimpled through the hing holes to find the holes in the spar--
Good
On a few areas where I glassed over wood that had holes drilled I just took
some scraps of urethane foam and stuffed it in the holes. It is very easy to
see through one or two layers of glass to find where the holes are again. With

Nutplates are used extensively in my project. Rivet questions alway come up
